Brosnan, Thurman to play Greek gods

Pierce Brosnan and Uma Thurman have been cast as Greek gods in fantasy-adventure Percy Jackson, says The Hollywood Reporter.

Brosnan's GoldenEye co-star Sean Bean, Kevin McKidd and Melina Kanakaredes are also new additions to the Chris Columbus-helmed movie.

The script, by Columbus and Craig Titley, is adapted from Rick Riordan's children's book The Lightning Thief. It involves Percy, the half-human son of Poseidon who attempts to prevent a war erupting between the gods in present-day America.
